The sharp right-hander Aaro Nikula, 25 years old, 2 m 12, who arrived last summer in Narbonne is already leaving the club. The Centurions decided to part ways with this element lacking playing time and disappointing on the floor.
Aaro Nikula is no longer from Narbonne. Very disappointing in the game since his arrival at the Centurions last summer, he was unable to keep his place in the Aude collective. Both parties separated by mutual agreement. The Finn (25 years old, 2.12 m, right-handed) joins the trick championship and the Akkuş Belediyespor club at the very beginning of January 2025.
From mid-October 2024, Narbonne had recruited the sharp Canadian Casey Schouten (medical joker for Mexican receiver-attacker Josué Lopez-Rios) to compensate for the Finn's sluggish performances. Since then, Aaro Nikula has only played very small matches. This departure certainly precedes the announcement of a new recruit to the Centurions Narbonne. An offensive contribution. A young Frenchman a priori.

Nikula arrived six months ago from the Romanian championship, from the Arcada Galati club – a very powerful club on the Romanian scene – with whom he played six matches in the Champions League last season (two won, four lost) and scored 75 points in this competition. With the Finnish team, this sharp right-hander then played six games for 60 points.
In his career, Aaro Nikula also played in Finland at Kuortane (2016-2018) and VaLePa (2018-2021) as well as in Portugal at Benfica (2021-2023). In 2022-2023, in Portugal, he had played 48 matches and scored 300 points. In Narbonne, he did not experience the same fortune.
